Last year I did a commercial pet photography shoot for a new line of high-end dog collars for local company, Bella & Beau. We had a full day of photographing a variety of beautiful, personality-filled dogs and I think the results speak for themselves! Bella & Beau has officially launched and it is so fun seeing how they are using all the images I captured for them.

Louie the Springer Spaniel and I had a combined session at his home—we created some studio portraits first then went outside to capture more variety. Louie is so well-behaved, sweet, and handsome; he was a real treat to photograph!

I was using a squeaky ball to capture his attention throughout the session. He got a hold of it toward the end and had incredible fun running around the yard, teasing me and showing off for the camera. 🙂

Every February, I have the pleasure of teaming up with Metro Dogs Daycare & Boarding to volunteer my time to benefit Safe Hands Rescue. Over 60 dogs (!) and their people had their portrait taken and over $2,000 was raised for the rescue. Here are just a handful of close-ups from the event—enjoy!

Thank you again to everybody who came to support a great cause. You can read more about other ways I give back through photography here.
